We feel very special and will always remember and cherish the moment we spent in livaboard paradise!
The nurse shark and the special attention from the crew. I love the yoga and the gym to burn off the inevitable hearty appetite we develop devouring buffet. Trully a excellent Buttler Service Experience!

Experiência fantásticas nas Maldivas
Tivemos dias incríveis com o Scubaspa ying. Toda a tripulação é fantástica, cordial e atenciosa. Os instrutores de mergulho são muito bem preparados, inclusive para dar todo o suporte para os iniciantes. A programação é perfeita, com mergulhos e atrações na medida certa. Muito melhor do que se hospedar em qualquer resort da região.

Most Awesome Dive Trip Ever
So much to see, everything - the ocean was our looking glass and we say it all, dolphins, turtles, moray eels, fish - tiny to small to big to large - amazing, octopus, cuttlefish, sting rays, eagle rays - just floating by like a carpet ride, manta rays - so graceful, sharks - nurse, tiger, black tip, white tip, hammerhead, and of course the whale shark - WOW! WOW! WOW! A most comfortable space to sleep, rest, eat, brief, and relax - the Scubaspa Yang was awesome with the most professional staff ever, they had everything needed in mind - very personal to each guest, they always knew what we needed or wanted for the moment at hand. The extras were over the top with beach BBQs, evening entertainment, and the dining room displays - so thoughtful. Dive masters were very knowledgeable of every site we visited and always made it a point to explain why and where we dove and what we may see - its the ocean and nature - nothing is for sure. We did not know ahead of time this was Shark Week, it was absolutely amazing. We even had the opportunity to get a few PADI certificates for awareness on Sharks and Whale Sharks, and we learned about shark conservation for 2 special guests that were on board with us as divers. This was the most awesome, wonderful, exciting, entertaining, educational dive trip we have ever been on and will take the best opportunity to do it again in the future. Thank you LiveAboard for showing us this safari trip - a gift of a lifetime.

Tiger sharks in the deep south
We had an amazing trip down south. The crew was amazing and so friendly. The highlight was Fuvamula, a spot famous in the world for close encounters with tiger sharks. And it held up to all expectations.

Remarkable. Second time with Scubaspa and it out performed all expectations
The guests were a delightful crowd. The snorkelling (I don't scuba) was excellent. And everything has been thought through. This is a terrific experience for solo travellers. Can highly recommend.
